Lafayette County Candidates.
We wish to commend the republican candidates of Lafayette county to our many patrons in the section for the interest they have taken in this paper. By the inserting of their cards with us they show a desire to help negro enterprises. If our Lafayette county subscribers would do us a favor, they may do so by speaking a good word for the men that have announced through our column. Stay with the men that stand by your race enterprises.
To the Teachers of Missouri.
Please remember the meeting of the State Teachers' Association to be held at Moberly during the Christmas holidays.

WHY? Because He Buys and Sells More Stoves than any Two Stores in the City.
Aside from a high-classed program we shall have an educator of national reputation as the principal speaker of the week. No progressive teacher can afford to miss such a rare treat.
Those who have delayed sending subjects to Principal A R Chinn, Glasgow, Mo., should send them at their earliest opportunity. We wish to get out our programs early this year and can only do so when the teachers of the state co-operate with us. Discharge your full duty to the Association. Have your pupils begin now to prepare work for the exhibits. Let every teacher sending a subject be present and prepared at the time and place designated.
Yours for success.

Little Ota Benga and the Monkeys
The sad case of the pigmy, Ota Benga, does not stir in us the wrath that it seems to have caused in the breasts of some good Gothamites. Ota is the little African

savage who has been exhibited in a cage with monkeys in the New York zoo. The little black man, to all outward seeming, is having the time of his life. But since the incident has raised such a furore, we are led to inquire why no outcry has been raised because Prof Garner and some other adventurous ethnologists have gone to Africa to ingratiate themselves into Simian society. If it is wrong for a little man to run with little monkeys in New York, how much worse it is for a big man to run with big monkeys in the lonely wilds of the dark continent. It may be that little Ota Benga will make little men of the monkeys. On the other hand, the African monkeys may make a big monkey of Prof Garner. So far as we can see, the incidence of both dangers about equalizes.
FOR PRESIDING JUDGE.
For presiding judge of the Petitis county court the republican party this year offers P C Stafford, one of the best citizens of Sedalia—a man who has been intimately connected with the affairs of the city and county for years—a man of sterling integrity, wide popularity and the very soundest of business principles.
Mr Stafford did not seek the nomination, but it elected he will discharge the duties of his office fairly and conscientiously, with no partisan bias between citizens and taxpayers who have business in the county court. Mr Stafford's record in financial matters, is one to be proud of. The voters of the county will not be trying an experiment if they elect Mr Stafford presiding judge of the county court—they will be insuring to themselves and to all citizens a just and equitable administration of this important office. —Capital.
As a conservative business man who is constantly endeavoring to further the interests of the citizens of this county, Mr Stafford cannot be excelled. From the standpoint of a manly citizen, 'to say nothing of his politics, entitles him to a favorable consideration by the voters on November the 6th.—[Editor.

PROF J W BALDWIN DEAD.
Well Known and Highly Respected Educator PassesAway at Kansas City.
Prof James W Baldwin, pr.ncipal of Sumner school at Kansas City, and one of the best known teachers in the state passed away at his home 1612 Lydia Avenue, Kansas City, on Friday evening September 28, after a prolonged illness of a complication of diseases.
Prof Baldwin began teaching at the age of 16 years at Pilot Grove, and afterwards taught at the following Missouri towns: Dresden, Fayette, Moberly, Kirksville, Trenton, Richmond, Paris, and for the past 17 years has been teaching in Kansas City and has fitted a number of young men and women for the profession of teaching. As a public man Prof Baldwin stood high and enjoyed the confidence of those wilt whom he associated. He was a 32d degree mason at the time of his death and was Grand II high Priest of the Knight Templars of the Missouri jurisdiction.
He was educated at Lincoln Institute, and one of the founders of the Missouri State teachers and never missed one of its annual sessions; served a number of years as its president and has always been an untiring laborer for its success.
Prof Baldwin will be greatly missed in the state as he was a public spirited citizen, always willing to assist in fostering any movement that would benefit his race and always encouraged race enterprises. He subscribed for all race journals.
No man in Kansas City was more highly respected than Prof Baldwin.
He was Sunday school superintendent, and secretary of a building and loan association.
His funeral, which occurred on Sunday September 30, was one of the largest ever held in Kansas City, hundreds being unable to secure admission to Allen Chapel church where the services were conducted by Masons and Knights Templar fraternities. He leaves a wife and an adopted son. —Professional World.

Discrimination By M E Church
At the State Fair in Sedalia, October 4th, a preacher seeing the name of the Epworth M E church, and feeling that it was his duty to patronize the church of God, went to the stand. One of the waiters asked him very kindly if he would have some cream and cake,
"Yes," Madam, replied the Divine.
She went for the cream and the preacher noticed that a conference was being held at the rear end of the stand by several women.
Presently one woman came to to the Divine and informed him that he could not get cream there.
"Why?"
"Because you are black," was the reply."
If this is the spirit of the Epworth church of East Sedalia, we would like to know the difference in the spirit of this church and the saloons?
The Divine called at the next stand and they served him. It was owned by white people, but they happened not to belong to the Great Methodist Church.

Local Political Conditions as They Affect the Negro.
Since our taking an independent position on the political issues in Pettis county, many negro orators and street walking statesmen have endeavored to represent us as preaching a false doctrine that will ultimately redound to our personal detriment. As we see it, we are a mere particle in the body politic of this county. Our opinions are formed and based upon facts gathered from conversations and personal contact with our own people. Every negro of this county who has given the local situation any careful thought is dissatisfied. He has been in this frame of mind for several years. Some of these veay fellows who are now going about the street and out in the county have been the strongest advocates for a square deal fight. Why have they taken to cover? Is it because the republicans have assured them of anything for the race, as a whole? No, no. The change has been wrought on purely personal grounds. What care they for the rank and file, so long as they can cure a few greasy chestnuts for their own ravenous maws. "Vote 'er straight," is the cry to the fellows out in the country. But when they come to the city, you will hear a new wail. Our advice to the country voter is for him to use his eyes and ears when he comes to town. Don't be so easily eased by a gentle patting on the back. Keep an eye on those eely and oily tongued fellows, lest they talk you out of your boots, socks and all. We want our industrious negro farmers to use some common sense and do a little more hard thinking this year than they have been doing heretofore. If you wish to see your race receive what it deserves for its political service, stand up for men whom you know will give you a man's chance. "Vote 'er straight" and "yaller dog" politics are a thing of the past. It's the independent voters that are shaping new policies now. Look at Jerome in New York. Have you studied the secret of Herrick's defeat in Ohio? Political bosses and double quick reversible politicians do not count for much with the common people nowadays. Especially is this true with many of our Negro States men here in Pettis county. Pettis county Negroes haven't forgotten how they have been duped heretofore by certain shrewd fellows, who count political lies as evidences of subtle virtues. We urge the Negro voters of this county and elsewhere to study the political records of those who are so anxious to counsel with you in secret plaes

his prissent term and he has a pretty good fighting chance for reelection. His opponent, Asbury Good knight is a highly respectable gentleman, who means to give Gentleman Charley an opportunity of showing his sprinting ability. Just north of Mr. Daugherty's office is located the sherff's office occupied by I. N. Sprecher, a typical Pettis county democrat. (We say, 'Pettis county democrat' because of his liberal ideas toward the Negroes, among whom he has many friends,) who means to be reelected sheriff of this county this tall. During his present en

cumbency, he has given absolute satisfactory service and we honestly believe that he will receive the votes necessary to elect him. His friends among the negroes are very numerous.
Over in northwest corner of the Court House you will find Martin Luther Imhoff, a true blue and conservative republican who aspires for the county clerk's office. He has had several years' experience in clerical work in various offices in the county. This experience fits him very eminently for the position he seeks. To land the plum, however, it will be necessary for him to do some lively hustling, because his democratic opponent, Spencer Hopkins, is a vote getter "From 'way back.'"
If you wish to see the man who is held in high esteem by the colored people, visit the collector's office and shake hands with W S Scott, the jokiest, jolliest and most jovial of the boys. He has no intention of moving out for several years to come. Of course he has a clean record and Clark Lon gan behind him to boost him on. But John L Sullivan is training every day to knock him out with a swift lead for his vote getting Solar Plexus. Just to come right down to the facts in the case both are alright and all of us will see a pretty race for the collectorship. T T Viets, a true type of christian sobriety and conservative republicanism, has made the county an efficient treasurer. The yeone's money has been properly safeguarded by him. His candidacy for reelection will be given a fair and partial consideration by the republicans of this county.
Charles S Williams. deputy-recorder, is going after the chief recordership with a will. He is a democrat having such broad ideas on all public and local questions that mony reptilicans will have to think several times before deciding to vote against him. He is very popular among the colored boys and if his opponent, Walter Money, was less popular, he would have an easy go of it. But since both are so much admired by the colored boys, we honestly believe that it is going to be a pretty tight race as to who will land safely. We can truthfully state that both are capable, honorable, conscientious and fairminded citizens who have great respect for the respectable and industrious Negro.
R N Lower. the present coun- tly cleak, is the republican nomi- nce for representatative. Mr. Low er is a pretty goob man but we are of the opinion that E E John ston, the author of our Compulsor y Education Law, will outstrip him several votes. Indications are that Mr. Johnston will poll many Negro votes and we believe he should have them because a cham pion for popular education is an earnest friend to the Negro. Let the present educational laws be a mended so that every child may be compelled to atted school each year. Such legislative measures, we believe, can be greatly facili- tated by the reelection of E E John ston for the General Assembly.
JELKS TO JOHNSON.
A N Johnson, Editor Mobile Press
Sir:I did not get your letter
soon enough to attend the Conference you named. At another time I would be glad to talk to the leading men of your race. I have as you know spent some of my own time, which belongs to the state and the time of some of the young men and some of the state's money to the end that the vengeance of the mob might not fall on members of your own race.
But it is a time for plain speaking. Your leading people must know that the insistent idleness of its lazy members and the crimes which are sure to follow such idleness is leading to a feeling that a few soldiers and a few guns will not control. I say to you and through you to your people that a radical change in two respects is imperative.
More work, more days or more work for each man and woman who have no other honest means for a livelihood.
And, again, the prompt, giving up to the officers of the law those who violate the criminal statutes. If these things are not done the powers of the constabulary, the police and state guard will not protect the races from a conflict which shall be deplorable. I am writing you very candidly. Out, law the loafer and the thief and be particularly prompt in helping to hunt down the rapists, ostracise them in your societies and consign them to eternal damnation from your pulpits. This is the best and cheapest way. Should the white people finally lose control of themselves anarchy is upon us.
Yours truly, W D JELKS.

3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the post office to which they are directed, they are responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them stopped.
4. If the subscriber moves to another place without informing the publisher, and the papers are sent to the former directions, he is held responsible.
5. The courts have decided that the refusing to take periodicals from the post office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for is prima facie evidence of international fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance, they are bound to give notice to the publishers, at the end of their time, if they do not wish to continue it, otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, the subscriber will be held responsible until an express notice with payment of arrearages is sent to the publisher.
7. The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can arrest any one for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this law the man who allows his subscription to run along for some time, unpaid, and then orders the postmaster to mark it "refused," and has a card sent notifying the publishers, lays himself liable to arrest and fine the same as for theft, etc.

TO REPUBLICANS:
We are anxious to have every Republican in close touch, and working in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress.
The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscriptions of One Dollar each from Republicans. To each subscriber we will send the Republican National Campaign Text Book and all documents issued by the Committee.
Help us achieve a great victory.
